This tiny bird is famous (or perhaps infamous, depending on your point of view). :)
(This shot was also taken at San Elijo Lagoon near San Diego.)
Distinguishing Marks: tiny--almost as small as a hummingbird. In breeding season males sport a black cap, this time of year a thin black line above the eye.
